Do Not Call List
Cell Phone Directory:
A directory of cell phone numbers will soon be published. All cell phone numbers will be available (just like your home phone number) to telemarketers. This opens the door to solicitors calling our cell phones and using up air time minutes. The Federal Trade Commission has set up a Do Not Call list.
You must Call from the number you wish to register, or go to their website at http://www.donotcall.gov , to be included on the "Do Not Call" list. The phone number is 1-888-382-1222.

I had my cell phone ported to my land line number and already had that number listed on the do not call list. Nothing like using your minutes on telemarketers!!!

Thanks, Joe H.
I listed all my phone numbers on it.
I also heard that, because of this directory, they were considering requiring all incoming calls to be free. I believe that was the trade off the phone companies made to get the directory out there. They will make advertising revenue off the directories, and to make that money they are willing to 'give up' the incoming call time.
